The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner: v. K.L.W. Respondent: In the Interest of Minor Children: Kay. W…

Summary

The court held that Father was not entitled to an adjudicatory jury trial in 2023 because, after waiving his 2021 jury demand by failing to appear, he did not make a new demand as required before the second trial. His last-minute objection to the bench trial was neither a jury demand nor timely, and the juvenile court therefore properly conducted a bench trial. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for consideration of Father's remaining contentions.
